Does the time change as you go north or south of the Equator along the same longitude line?

No, the time does not change as you move north or south along the same longitude line. Time zones are determined by lines of longitude, so as long as you stay on the same line, the time remains constant.


What do lines of a latitude tell us on a map?

Lines of latitude, also known as parallels, indicate the distance north or south of the Equator, which is at 0 degrees latitude. They are measured in degrees, with the North Pole at 90 degrees North and the South Pole at 90 degrees South. These lines help in determining climate zones, time zones, and navigating geographically by providing a framework for locating positions on Earth.

Do time zones run vertically or horizontally?

Time zones run vertically, extending from the North Pole to the South Pole. They are generally defined by lines of longitude, with each time zone typically covering 15 degrees of longitude to account for the Earth's rotation. This vertical alignment means that as you move east or west across the globe, you change time zones.
